Close-up portrait of a woman with shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes, and a gentle smile.

Hey, I’m Ruth Segaud (pronounced say-go!), it’s great to meet you.

I’ve always loved taking photographs. I was the one with a camera in my hand at school parties and the one who took headshots of friends at music college. For me it’s not so much about creating pieces of art (although thankfully my photography is a lot more creative now!), it’s about documenting memories. My camera roll is my diary, and I feel very privileged that my amazing couples and families allow me to document their everyday, and not-so-everyday, moments.

A family of four and a cat sitting on a bed, with a woman lifting a baby in the air, smiling. The man is holding the cat, and a young girl is lying next to him, also smiling. The room has gray walls, colorful cityscape artwork, a lamp, and a framed photo on a nightstand.

The mother has shoulder-length hair, wearing a gray sweatshirt with the word 'MOM' on it. The son, carried by the mother, has short hair and a backpack. The daughter, standing next to her father, has long hair and is smiling.

5 fun facts that you didn’t know you needed to know…

1. I’ve always been a cat person, but don't worry dog owners, your furry friends are more than welcome at your session…. and who doesn’t love dogs at weddings!?

Three young women are each holding cats. One is hugging a black and white kitten, another is holding two orange kittens, and the third is cuddling an orange tabby cat.
A couple dances at a wedding reception, with the man in a dark suit and the woman in a white dress with a floral crown. They are smiling and holding hands. The background features large white initials 'P & M,' colorful bunting, and a live band with musicians and instruments, in a rustic venue with wooden walls and colorful lighting.

2. Michael and I have been together since our Freshers Ball at the Royal Northern College of Music way back in 2006, and got to plan our own wedding at Errol Park in 2014.

3. I love travelling and have spent time teaching in Thailand and backpacking in India. Holidays with the kids are slightly less wild now… you’re more likely to find us in a caravan somewhere in Scotland!

4. I’m a classically trained violinist and have performed for a few famous faces (including Queen Elizabeth II and Rita Ora) while running my own wedding and events music business. I also trained with Musique et Santé in Paris, worked as a musician in Manchester Children’s Hospital and completed an Early Years Postgraduate Certificate!

That’s enough about me… I want to hear your plans!
